| After searching all over the internet if dianthus clavelina is a perennial or an annual, I have not found a clear answer. Could someone please give me the answer? Thank you. |

| It seems to be a short lived perennial. My next door neighbor planted it in front of her house. It survived for a few years. I no longer see it there. |

| I had the same question! I'm also zone 7b. I an thinking of just pulling them and putting them inside for the winter in containers as I've gotten such mixed answers as to their cold hardiness. Pitimpinai - chicago should be a similar zone, if not the same, as us in 7b I would think. your friend had them outside all winter and they came back again next year? (for a few short years I guess?) |

| Yes, the microclimate in Chicago itself is much different from the surrounding area. My neighbor planted it outside in front of her house. It came back a few years then died one winter. I also remember another friend planting it in her garden. Hers also disappeared after a few years. |
